Thank you, Alvaro!

The Burbank Volunteer Program wants to wish safe travels to our international volunteer, Alvaro! Alvaro worked with the City of Burbank's Nutrition Department during his one month visit to the United States in May of this year. Alvaro assisted in the Joslyn Adult Center kitchen where he set tables, prepped and plated food, distributed meals to participants, served coffee and cake to clients after lunch and maintained a clean and sanitized kitchen area everyday.

Thank you for all of your help and good luck, Alvaro!
